Over the past 10 years, much has moved forward at Donhead; major building development, advancements in technology and outstanding success at senior school entrance examinations, including Scholarship success. However, despite this period of change and development, one constant has remained; namely, the core mission and identity of the school.
It is written just inside the main entrance that Jesuit schools are places where children are honoured, cared for and believed in. Every child in this school must be cherished for who they are, a child of God. This school seeks to take care of the person, first and foremost. 'Cura Personalis' in action.
This school has a clear mission. 1% of the world’s population receives a college education. The 99% are looking to the 1% to make a difference. This school exists to make a contribution to that mission. It seeks to educate young men of competence, conscience and compassion, who can ultimately make a real difference in the world. Within the stresses and strains of their busy daily lives, we hope they will understand the importance of making a difference to those who need their help most. We hope our alumni will serve the cause of social justice in the best way they can.
